A Business Report for Cyan International

Executive Summary:

It is all about balancing and how to adjust the imbalance to an equilibrium point. Cyan is currently in the confrontation of imbalance between the relatively dynamic environment and inflexible organisation environment, and imbalance between the changes and responses made to the change. The two imbalances are interrelated which generates the issue of how to balance the technology implementation and recourse management. The traditional organisation forms in Cyan has significant limitations in supporting the information-based organization which causes important issues such as unequal information sharing and transferring among affiliates, insecure information back-up, as well as the deficiency of information usability and accessibility. In addition, fund deficit is also a product of Cyan failure to deal with imbalance caused by changes.

In the reality, the Win-Win situation is rather difficult to engineer, organisations maybe get a big part of what they really want in a compromise, but not all. The proposal for the management provided by E-servicer Inc. breaks the imbalance relationship Cyan has with the external environment but whether it is still a good choice while Cyan’s mission and power distribution is under risk of changing as well.

The best recommended solution to Cyan International that is any changes have to be built on the past and restored responsibility to executive council. Either by accepting government funding or joining with E-servicer, the organisation has to implement new system. And the most important point is the new IT/IS must become part of the organizational culture. It must be accepted, adapted, and adopted by the people of the Cyan. The benefit of IS would enable to create a learning organization where people develop trust in virtual team and learn to effectively integrate IT/IS into their working practices. (285)

Critical Issues:

As constant battles within our hostile and dynamic nation, the triggers for change interact systemically. With the traditional organisation forms in Cyan where tasks are specialised, duties are closely-defined and a clear hierarchical structure with insistence on loyalty, the organisation is unable to adjust itself simultaneously to the external environment where changes occur frequently and where provides more new opportunities. Therefore, the mechanistic structure has significant limitations in supporting the information-based organization that is less responsive and inelastic to changes.

While the tyranny of distance between two has taken place, important issues in relating to ...
